“All the darkness in the world cannot extinquish the light of a single candle.” ~ St. Francis of Assisi

This post is in honor of Amy Bleuel, the founder of Project Semicolon. It is a project dedicated to helping people who struggle with mental illness. Sadly, on March 23, 2017, she committed suicide. My heart breaks for her and her family. She was, and will continue to be, a light in this world for those who suffer with mental illness.

If you or a loved one struggles with any mental illness, especially suicidal thoughts, PLEASE ASK FOR HELP.

“The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love them.” ~ Unknown

Life is all about decisions. The same is true when we write. WE create our worlds from characters to the plot. The idea blossoms into a draft and then into a finished product, the entire journey filled with thousands of decisions. Don’t be afraid to make them. Have fun with them. The decisions we make are the creative juice that make our writing rich and luscious.

“This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until it’s done. It’s that easy, and that hard.” ~ Neil Gaiman

A PROMISE:

“Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.
To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”
― Christian D. Larson
